I think it takes some time to let the senses recover. If you have tasted a really wonderful wine the sense and memory of it may linger and influence the next one. A person could make an unfair judgement on a wine if the previous one tasted was magnificent and the next one if shy of the same magnificence but very good in its own right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510288940796977839.post-73037848531016972182012-02-20T15:52:21.710-08:002012-02-20T15:52:21.710-08:00Something basic in nature is best for me (that is,...Something basic in nature is best for me (that is, greater than pH of 7) as that &quot;balances&quot; all the acids we ingest tasting wine.

Another problem with tasting a lot of wine at one sitting, even when spitting it out, is enough can slip down the pie hole and get absorbed into the body to cause quite a buzz.Dave Larsenhttp://www.sooscreekwine.comnoreply@blogger.com
